Hon Cheung JA :

1.  I will refuse to grant you leave.  The starting point of 6 years reduced to a 4 year sentence because of your guilty plea is an appropriate one.  This is a large scale fraud involving $16 m and spread over a period of 22 months.  I have considered your submission fully.  Nothing in your submission merits a granting of leave for you to proceed with the appeal. 

2.  I have to advise you that you are entitled to renew your application before a Full Bench of the Court of Appeal but I have to warn you that in the event that your application is refused, the Court may order part of the time you spent in custody not to be counted as part of the sentence.
